Getting a carotid scan today [View all]
Belatedly wondered if my insurance will cover it. It took me 20 minutes to find my Medicare and insurance books for 2026. Were right where they should be, but of course, I had to poke around and look where they might be. Ha. It looks like the scan is covered. If not, I'll remember to ask before they want anything else.
I saw a vascular specialist in Feb. or March. The nurse checked the circulation in my feet, which was okay. Told me to take low-dose aspirin and wear compression socks. They want a follow up in Sept and this scan is for that appt. Toe to head.
I had diverticulitis for the first time, diagnosed 12/29. My primary care ordered follow up with a couple specialists. So far, they haven't spotted other problems. I have had a thorough check-up for a long time, so it'll be out of the way soon.
I know I need to manage my important papers better and I need to ask questions instead of assuming my health insurance is still covering as well as it has in the past. I'm lucky that I haven't had a lot of medical issues as I age, hope that continues. Maybe that's why I misplace the papers, and don't read the fine print.
